What should white people do?

Hey y'all we are back with another episode for our series “What should white people do?” This week felt like a whole year, get comfy, grab your favorite snack and tune in. What does a government shutdown mean, and who pays? What exactly is connected to the government shutdown? What does Jim Crow have to do with power, place and privilege and why was that an important weapon? Tre Brown, (Conncan) joined the conversation to share more about what is happening in New Britain CT, the lack of accountability by the mayor, the Blue code being enforced right now with New Britain Police and shares more about the police brutality and racism happening there - would you be surprised to know that is a heavy RepubiKKKan area. Tre will also be sharing more about an important event happening in New Britain this Sunday 8th October at 3pm at Central Park (across from New Britain City Hall), this event is for the young Latinx mother killed by New Britain Police. #SayHerName #KatherineColon Amy L. shared about what’s happening with the Middletown Board of Education. “Well may it be said that Americans have no memories. We look over the House of Representatives and see the Solid South enthroned there. We listen with calmness to eulogies of the South and of the traitors, and forget Andersonville. We look over the Senate and see the Senator from South Carolina, and we forget Hamburg. We see Robert Smalls cheated out of his seat in Congress, and forget the Planter, and the service rendered by the colored troops in the late war for the Union.Well, the nation may forget; it may shut its eyes to the past and frown upon any who may do otherwise, but the colored people of this country are bound to keep fresh a memory of the past till justice shall be done them in the present. When this shall be done we shall as readily as any other part of our respected citizens plead for an act of oblivion” Frederick Douglass, (1888) ‘I Denounce the So-Called Emancipation as a Stupendous Fraud’
